Preface
On the great stage of life, the fate of some people seems to be set up as tragic from the beginning.
However, just like a fascinating movie, no matter how bumpy and twisty the plot is, there are always unyielding heroes who break free from the shackles of fate and create their own miracles. Today, we are going to tell the story of such a hero.
The statements in this article are based on reliable sources of information and are detailed at the end of the article.
He was born with a disability without limbs, suffering from congenital seal limb, with no education, no skills, and a poor family with only one mud house.
At the age of 14, he carried the burden of life and took to the streets to beg. He suffered from the rolls of the eyes and ridicule of countless people, as if all the suffering in life weighed on his thin shoulders.
However, this seemingly weak life contains incomparably powerful power. Not only was he not crushed by the predicament, but with his tenacious perseverance and unyielding spirit, he wrote a shocking counterattack legend.
How did he climb step by step from the bottom of society to become a well-known game streamer with an annual income of one million? What unknown hardships and tribulations did he go through in his life? What profound enlightenment did his success bring us?
Tragic beginnings
Yuan Lidong, a boy who was born different. His limbs, which had been destined to be different at birth, had replaced the normal limbs with four balls of flesh. His parents were horrified, disappointed, and even thought about abandoning him.
But the power of maternal love is great, and his mother finally chose to bring him home and decided to raise this child with her love and persistence.
Yuan Lidong's growth path was full of challenges. Without hands, he uses his mouth instead, and without legs, he uses planks to support them. Under his mother's careful instruction, he learned to write, eat, and even walk. Despite the difficulties, he never gave up.
However, the moment Yuan Lidong stepped into the school, he suffered the first blow in his life. The surprise and ridicule of his classmates made him realize his differences.
He became inferior, autistic, and no longer communicated. His mother noticed the changes in him and took him to the hospital for a check-up, only to learn a brutal diagnosis: congenital seal limb syndrome, a lifelong disability.
This result made her mother grief-stricken, and she felt sorry for Yuan Lidong. However, no matter how painful it is, life has to go on. His mother decided to take care of Yuan Lidong more attentively and let him grow up happily.
In elementary school, Yuan Lidong showed amazing perseverance and wisdom, and he skillfully took notes with his mouth, which made his teachers and classmates admire him. However, he couldn't keep up with the heavy workload in junior high school, so in order not to burden his family, he voluntarily dropped out of school and went home.
After dropping out of school, Yuan Lidong did not give up. He began to try to fend for himself, using his clothes in his mouth and walking up the stairs with a cane. Although it was very difficult at first, after continuous training, he gradually mastered the method of completing daily chores with his mouth.
However, life is always full of uncertainties. When he was 14 years old, his family suddenly changed. How will this young man, who has struggled with difficulties, cope with it, and what will happen to his life?
Fight against fate
However, a trick of fate has put the family in a difficult situation. Yuan Lidong's father worked in a local factory and was the breadwinner of the family. However, with the closure of the factory, Yuan's father lost his job, and the whole family suddenly fell into trouble.
Yuan Lidong's mother has always been in poor health and cannot bear the burden of the family. Looking at the young Yuan Lidong and his increasingly weakened wife, Yuan's father decided to take his son out to beg. They left their homeland and began a difficult career as an entertainer.
In an unfamiliar city, Yuan Lidong and his father begged on the streets. They have been exposed to wind and rain, sun and rain, and sometimes harassment by indifferent crowds and gangsters. However, they never gave up and insisted on exchanging their talents for a meager income.
However, fate once again showed a cruel side to them. Yuan Lidong's mother suddenly fell ill and was diagnosed with a brain tumor, which required high surgical costs. This is undoubtedly an astronomical amount for the Yuan family.
In the face of the predicament, Yuan Lidong did not flinch. He worked even harder to beg and traveled to all corners of the country. He sang and performed with his father, and his hoarse voice did not stop. They sold everything in their family just to pay for their mother's surgery.
He vowed to raise money for his mother's surgery to restore her health. However, fate does not seem to favor the family. Before Yuan Lidong could raise the cost of the operation, his mother passed away due to the deterioration of his condition.
Yuan Lidong was so grief-stricken that he knelt in front of his mother's bed and burst into tears. He felt endless guilt and self-blame because he had not had time to get his mother to be treated.
Although his mother has passed away, Yuan Lidong has not given up. He continued to beg with his father and worked hard for his family's livelihood. He firmly believes that as long as he doesn't give up, one day he will get out of the predicament and let his family live a happy life.
Despite failing to find adequate medical treatment when his mother was seriously ill, Yuan Lidong never regretted his choice. Those days of running around as an artist not only allowed him to experience the hardships of life, but also allowed him to find the meaning of life in the hardships.
On a sunny day, Yuan Lidong sang on the streets of Datong, Shanxi. His soulful singing attracted many passers-by, but most of them were just passing by. Just as he was about to lose hope, a woman in a pale yellow dress walked slowly towards him.
Heaven seems to have begun to favor Yuan Lidong, this girl's name is Yanzi (pseudonym), she was very moved when she heard Yuan Lidong's singing, and after talking with Yuan Lidong, the two had a further understanding.
In this way, this woman named Yanzi walked into Yuan Lidong's world. Her appearance was like a warm ray of sunshine, illuminating his once gloomy life.
Yanzi was not afraid of Yuan Lidong's appearance, but admired his perseverance, and the tacit understanding between Yuan Lidong and Yanzi became deeper and deeper. They see each other every day, share each other's hearts, and each other becomes an indispensable presence in each other's lives.
Yanzi is a kind-hearted woman, and her hometown is not wealthy, so she only studied for a few years before coming out to work. She has been through countless hardships, but she has always maintained an optimistic attitude.
In getting along with Yuan Lidong, she saw his tenacity and unyielding in life. Despite his physical disability, he bravely faced the adversity and conveyed his love for life through his singing.
Touched by Yuan Lidong's tenacity, Yanzi found that she developed a deep affection for him. After more than a month of getting along, she mustered up the courage to confess her heart to Yuan Lidong.
Yuan Lidong was moved by Yanzi's sincerity, but his heart was full of worries. He worries that his physical condition will become a burden to the swallow and that he will not be able to give her happiness.
However, Yanzi firmly told him that she didn't care about his physical condition, she only knew that Yuan Lidong was the strongest person in her heart.
Looking at Yanzi's innocent eyes, Yuan Lidong was finally moved by her. He decided not to let his worries stand in the way of their happiness. So, they had a simple wedding and started their new life.
Rijin Doujin has become a unique "chopsticks brother"
He knew that he was no longer alone, that he had a home, that he had a baby that needed his protection and care.
With the birth of his son, Yuan Lidong felt an unprecedented sense of responsibility. He knew that he needed to provide a better life for his family and a better future for his son.
With the rise of online live broadcasting, coupled with the perennial practice of setting up stalls, he decided to challenge himself and try to become an online anchor.
For Yuan Lidong, it was not easy. He has no hands and cannot operate a mouse and keyboard like everyone else. However, the swallow has always supported him and encouraged him. She believes that he will be able to do it and find his own stage.
With Yanzi's encouragement, Yuan Lidong began to study how to operate the mouse and keyboard with chopsticks in his mouth. It was an extremely difficult process, but he never gave up.
He rubbed the mouse with his face and clicked on the keyboard with the chopsticks in his mouth. Every attempt was a challenge, but he never backed down.
After a month of hard work, Yuan Lidong finally mastered the operation skills. He chose the most popular online game "League of Legends" at the time as his live broadcast content, and gave himself a loud ID - "Brother Chopsticks".
The first live broadcast began, and Yuan Lidong was nervous and excited. At first, only a few spectators came in to watch, but when they saw him playing a game with chopsticks in his mouth, everyone was stunned.
They were moved by Yuan Lidong's tenacity and perseverance, and sent him the warmest applause and blessings, and the gifts in the live broadcast room continued.
As time passed, the fame of "Brother Chopsticks" grew. His story has touched countless people, and his live stream has attracted more and more viewers. He proved his worth with his actions and found his own stage.
However, the long-term live broadcast work has brought a huge burden to Yuan Lidong's body. His cheeks were worn out into thick calluses, and his internal organs began to shift. He knew that he couldn't go on like this forever and that he needed to think about his family and himself. So, he decided to transform into an entertainment streamer.
After the transformation, Yuan Lidong did not give up his career, on the contrary, he did better. He infects everyone with his optimistic and cheerful personality, and his live broadcast room is always full of laughter. He also started an e-commerce business and pushed his career to new heights.
Today, Yuan Lidong's life is happy and happy. His son is 12 years old, smart and sensible, and he is the pride of Yuan Lidong's heart. Although some people would speak ill of him in private, the son didn't care. He knows that dad is the best superhero.
epilogue
Yanzi has always been Yuan Lidong's strong backing, and her support and encouragement have allowed Yuan Lidong to surpass himself again and again and create miracles that belong to the two of them.
At the beginning of the tragedy, Yuan Lidong relied on perseverance to complete the counterattack of life, and Yuan Lidong became the winner in this struggle of fate.
